There is one emotion hidden in the heart
the one emotion locked away for no one to see
an emotion so deep it tears at the soul.
It’s the emotion that only reveals itself in a shadow of light.
Every night before escaping into sleep
it gives a silent cry to help
a silent prayer for love and attention.
This silent cry can only hope that someone will come
to free it from its cage of despair…
It only asks for the freedom of pain from loneliness;
the pain which tortures day and night.
The one silent cry which prays that one
day the everlasting prayer will be answered…
